nessvannoy Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I went back to school this last school year to take some pre-reqs I needed to apply for PA school. I already have both a bachelor's and master's degree. My question is how to enter the pre-req courses. Should I list them as post-bacc, or as senior grade level?

AliB Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Per the CASPA FAQ, all undergrad courses after you receive your bachelors are post-bacc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nessvannoy Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 Thanks so much! I spent a good portion of time on the FAQs, and could not find any information on this. I listed them as post-bacc, just want to minimize the chance that I have errors when they evaluate my transcript! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliB Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 It's under 'Select Academic Status' in the section 'How to Enter a Term' under 'How to Enter Coursework'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nessvannoy Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Found it! Thanks so much! Is graduate GPA calculated separately from undergraduate GPA? Sorry for all the questions, this is my first time applying! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AliB Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 It is. Look at the "College Year-Level GPAs and Science vs Non-Science", under "Verification: GPA Calculations" and you'll see an example laid out. Cumulative Undergrad and/or Overall are the GPAs that many schools use in their initial screenings. The nice thing about the by year (plus post-bacc) layout is that it's easy to see trends (hopefully upward!) and that can help tremendously if you had a rocky start. FYI, my situation sounds similar to yours; I had a bachelors in business and a masters in comp science prior to going back to take pre-reqs as post-bacc for PA school.
